Description:... "For many years citizens of both Canada and United States were satisfied to think of the Sioux chief, Sitting Bull, as a treacherous savage, a menace to the white man's design for the development of the country. Newspaper reports made him the most notorious figure on the western frontier. After the Custer affair of 1876 - for which he was held responsible - his reputation was for massacre and murder. ... But why the Canadian interest in Sitting Bull? ... He became a symbol of the conflict between the hordes of greedy newcomers and the frustrated native defenders."--Desc. at www.popula.com.
